The Advanced Laser Interferometer Gravitational - Wave Observatory's detection of spacetime ripples from two merging black holes on December 26, 2015, indicated that one black hole was spinning like a tilted top as it orbited with its companion (SN: 7/9/16, p. 8).
Merging black holes, spiraling white dwarfs, and spinning neutron stars all emit gravitational radiation.
Black holes with randomly aligned spins merge relatively quickly, Cadonati explains.
If grouped in clusters, primordial black holes could also form merging pairs with misaligned spins.
Ripples in spacetime stirred up by merging black holes (SN Online: 6/1/17) should be slightly amplified if those black holes are spinning.
Theoretical models of merging black holes indicate that if the two black holes» spins are not aligned, the merging event will happen faster than if the spins are aligned.
Also, additional wobbles in the signal are predicted as two spin - aligned black holes get close and begin to merge.
But in this most recent event, the merging occurred relatively quickly and no additional oscillations were observed, meaning the two black holes were likely not spin - aligned and probably didn't form together.
